Looks like `ediff-write-merge-buffer-and-maybe-kill' is the culprit.

In Ediff, lots of such stuff is hardcoded - including the behavior you
see.  The pause was probably added to make the user see the feedback
from writing the file.

I too find the behavior irritating, but there's probably no easy way to
fix it on a user basis.  You can try a bug report, but I doubt it will
be treated soon.
